Hi Peter,

In regards to who is Nancy Grace, all that is really relevant to the
discussion in hand is that she is considered a highly controversial
legal commentator within the United States. Grace's legal
commentary show is currently broadcasted and hosted on locations like
CNN.COM.

Proponents of Nancy Grace's style of reporting say the following about her:

 Nancy Grace

 An outspoken, tireless advocate for victims’ rights
 and one of television's most respected legal analysts,
 Nancy Grace is the powerful force behind Headline News’
 (HLN) top-rated Nancy Grace.

http://www.cnn.com/CNN/anchors_reporters/grace.nancy.html

Meanwhile, a somewhat more independent analysis of Nancy Grace
reporting style can be found out at Wikipedia:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nancy_Grace

See my previous links to the Wikipedia article for the specifics.

* * * * *

The point I was trying to insinuate, and deliberately so I might add,
is that IMO, Krivit's style of Rossi reporting reminds me of certain
tactics Nancy Grace employs. Nancy claims she is fighting for victim's
rights such as those who aren't in a position to defend themselves,
particularly murdered individuals.

Meanwhile, in Krivit's case, I'm sure he believes he is fighting for
the rights of those in his audience who he feels are basically
ignorant of certain nefarious elements belonging to the CF community.
As such, from Krivit's POV these individuals are potential targets (or
victims) that Krivit fears can be taken advantage of. From Krivit's
POV, he wants to be the hero who ends up saving them through the
tireless actions of his relentless editorials pertaining to the evil
wiles of Rossi  Co.

I suspect some of Krivit's editorial/investigative actions (or agenda)
may actually be derived from his own past history where he may have
felt at one time in his life that he was being taken advantage of by
certain individuals within the CF community, or that he felt they were
deliberately attempting to manipulate him. Whether that is really
true, I don't know. However, what matters is that I suspect Krivit
believes that's what he experienced. Krivit doesn't want what he fears
almost happened to him to happen to others. Granted, it's an
altruistic perspective, if not taken to extremes.

However, getting back to Nancy Grace, I'd like to point out the
convenient fact that dead victims are no longer in a position to
respond to Nancy's take on events. They can't potentially come back
from the grave and tell Nancy things like, well that's not exactly how
I recall it all went down for me. In Nancy case, dead victims have
become convenient props that will not contradict her agenda.

When I watch Nancy in one of her editorial rants, the impression I'm
left with is someone attempting to deliberately whip up an emotionally
charged perspective. It is deliberately meant to shock and outrage the
listener over to Nancy's POV. It is a perspective that attempts to
entice the viewer to luxuriate in a narcissistic emotional steam bath
of self-righteous outrage. Once an individual is engulfed in the
juices of their own sense of self-righteous outrage any sense of
objectivity is pretty much left in the gutter. All the better for
Nancy Grace and her style of keeping listeners addicted to her style
of emotionally charged investigative reporting.

I'm insinuating that IMO there appears to be a similar kind of an
emotionally charged agenda in some of Krivit's attacks against Rossi.

From Peter

 

 A second paper by Ugo Bardi using forced analogies and guilt by

 association. Very weak journalism and a kind of porcheria. 

 irrespective of what Rossi has or hasn't. And a very harmful

 association of Krivit. I would call it treason- but this is a

 too great a word for such a stupid and counterproductive action.

 The enemy of my enemy is not my friend if he is the enemy of my cause.

 

 http://cassandralegacy.blogspot.com/2012/03/e-cat-horror.html

 

IMO, Ugo's post was just plain silly. To be fair, I suspect Ugo's was just
trying to be humorous for the most part. Quite frankly, I thought it damaged
Ugo's reputation, this particular installment and the lack of
discrimination, far more than Ugo's humorous insinuations against Rossi's
behavior. It was like watching another version of the Great Randi spouting
off. an Italian version, that is.

 

Regarding SK, let me perform an innocent guilt-by-association tactic of my
own. Some of SK's editorials remind me of Nancy Grace's editorials:

 

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nancy_Grace

 

Excerpts:

 

 Controversies

 

 In 2011 a New York Times article David Carr wrote Since her show began in

 2005, the presumption of innocence has found a willful enemy in the former

 prosecutor turned broadcast judge-and-jury. He criticized her handling of

 the kidnapping of Elizabeth Smart, the Duke lacrosse team rape case, the

 Melinda Duckett interview and suicide and the Caylee Anthony case. George

 Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley told Carr that Grace,

 as an attorney and reporter, has managed to demean both professions with

 her hype, rabid persona, and sensational analysis. Some part of the public

 takes her seriously, and her show erodes the respect for basic
rights.[14]

 [edit] Elizabeth Smart kidnapping

 

...and this as well:

 

 Suicide of interviewee Melinda Duckett

 

 In September 2006, 21-year-old Melinda Duckett committed suicide following

 an interview conducted by Grace concerning the disappearance of Duckett's

 2-year-old son Trenton.[22]

 

 Grace interviewed Duckett less than two weeks after the child went
missing,

 questioning her for her alleged lack of openness regarding her son's

 disappearance, asking Duckett Where were you? Why aren't you telling us

 where you were that day?[23] Duckett appeared confused and was unable to

 answer whether or not she had taken a polygraph test. When Grace asked her

 why she could not account for specific details, Duckett began to reply,

 Because I was told not to, to which Grace responded, Ms. Duckett, you

 are not telling us for a reason. What is the reason? You refuse to give

 even the simplest facts of where you were with your son before he went

 missing. It is day twelve. According to the CNN transcript, Duckett

 replied, (INAUDIBLE) with all media. It's not just there, just all media.

 Period. Grace then moved on to a media psychologist who asserted that

 Duckett was skirting around the issue.[22][23]

 

 The next day, before the airing of the show, Duckett shot herself, a

 death that relatives claim was influenced by media scrutiny, particularly

 from Grace.[22][24] Speaking to The Orlando Sentinel, Duckett's
grandfather

 Bill Eubank said, Nancy Grace and the others, they just bashed her to the

 end. She was not one anyone ever would have thought of to do something

 like this.[22] CNN has also been criticized for allowing the show to air

 in the wake of Duckett's suicide.[25] Police investigating the case had

 not named Melinda Duckett as a suspect in the case at the time, but after

 her suicide the police did say that, as nearly all parents are in

 missing-child cases, she was a suspect from the beginning.[22]

 

Final comment: In no way am I attempting to suggest that Rossi is in danger
of committing suicide because of SK's relentless editorializations. Rather,
as an analogy, I'm attempting to perform the equivalent of a same kind of
guilt-by-association insinuation directed at SK for which SK's has attempted
to insinuate concerning his relentless reporting on Rossi. I can't stand
watching Nancy Grace, particularly when she goes on another one of her
editorial rants.

 

So, as innocent the insinuation goes: If the shoe fits.

Both papers of Bardi are of very low quality. You can write everything you
